Q: I am looking for a pressure washer that does not leak. I am on my second Husky (I know) and am tired of getting more water on my pants than on the work.

Is that possible vCard with this model?by Jim Farrell from Maryland on July 02, 2016

A: I've only had one leak if the hose connection was not secure and I used teflon tape and that fixed it up nicely. You'll love this machine. It's a monster of a unit. by Brian, Product Expert

Q: The Generac 6565 comes with a 1/4" quick connect correct.Is the Generac compatible with theMTM Hydro Long-Range Detergent Foamer Attachment (Cold Water Gas)-Do I need an adaptor to work with the foamer? it states Includes Both 1/4" Male Quick Connect & M22 Threaded Fittings, but then it states

Generac has a great reputation for their power equipment, and this newcomer should be no exception - we have received a lot of positive feedback on this model.

This pressure washer includes a Generac OHV commercial grade engine and an AR triplex pump.

With that being said, this 4200 PSI, 4 GPM unit from Generac is basically a professional-grade machine at a prosumer-grade price.

Great Power Washer

The quality and durability are second to none. The price for what I got is great and the amount of pressure from this 4200 psi washer is outstanding.

Pros:I'd Buy It Again, Price, Exceeded Expectations, High Quality

Cons:No Cons Yet

Maybe You'll Get Lucky

So I bought this even after reading some bad reviews of it mainly to do with stalling when hot and hard to pull. But my unit did that one better right out of the box it wouldn't start not even a cough. So I went all over it and eventually found that the spark plug had been smashed to the point where there was gap. I regapped the plug and pulled until I found out the thing will not start on choke only run. Do you know how many pulls that took to find that out?

So now I'm happy it's running and for the first hour everything is fine and then the first stall. And after I fuel it and restart it now stalls every 2 to 5 minutes. This was the weekend first thing on Monday I call up Generac and they give me the name of a shop that works on them. I go to the shop only to find out they don't work on Generac and haven't in two years. Another call to Generac they give me the name of some other places all of which I know aren't the best.

I pick the one that I don't know and take it there, so this place doesn't seem thrilled to work on it and by the looks of it I should see my unit round about election time. If I would of bought this at a brick and mortar store I would have a new unit by now. If your smart pay the extra and get better service at a Big Box Store.

I am so sorry you've had issues with your pressure washer! Generac is such a large company that I'm afraid they don't keep their Service Directory as up-to-date as they could.

If you feel you aren't being treated fairly at the Authorized Repair location, please give me a call directly at 800-710-7499 or email me at service@pressurewashersdirect.com and I will be happy to ask our Generac sales rep to step in on your behalf. I will need the name & phone number of the shop, your invoice number, and the name of the person you're speaking to.

Very easy to start unlike some reviews, you should read the instructions.

Has lots of power, it will push you back. I have not found anything yet that it will not take off.

Awesome

So I purchased this pressure washer simply for the 4200 and the 4.0 gallons per minute but I'm so happy with everything about this machine!

I have used many other gas pressure washers with Cat pumps and big PSI that cost almost double the amount of this Generac and let me tell you I would buy this over them every time now that I have used this machine- this is just the best value out period!

I seen that some other people had problems starting their unit, let me tell you I have never had any other gas powered machine start on the first pull but my Generac did right out of the box and every time after.

All I can say is thank you Generac for putting out such a high quality machine! And yes I have already made my friends believers lol!

I did quite a bit of research on pressure washers before deciding on this model by Generac. Like most people the immediate thing that made it stand out was the price. Compared to other PW's in the 4200 PSI range you were looking at saving a minimum of $200 to $300 clear up to $700. I kinda liked that.

I knew Generac had made generators since forever and had a solid rep in that field. The pump they used was the same as the other competitors with a couple of exceptions where they were using CAT pumps which was a little better quality but you definitely paid for it. Add to it the reviews on the gun and hose they supplied had good reviews and that sports fans covers the components of a PW (except for frame and ALL reviews on that we're good).

Received mine and it was packaged well, had easy straight forward assembly instructions. Put in gas and oil, choked it, pulled once on the starter rope and it fired right up. Starting it was a concern as I love Honda small engines which start super easy but my fears were unfounded as it has started and ran like a champ.

It is a heavy unit but it is remarkably well balanced on the frame and is easier to move around than my old one which weighs half of what this one does.

As for power - good lord you could do a frontal assault on a M1A1 Abrams tank and take the sucker out! Serious power.... Not for kids or even adults with a small build and lacking in upper body strength. This is a great product and I'm very impressed with it. Only thing I would recommend Generac work on is the placement of the starter rope in relation to the frame. It's a bit hard to get to. Just an annoyance, not a problem.

Buy this thing. It's a winner and you will be happy with your choice.
